4th of July Recipes

June 27, 2011

The Fourth of July holiday is just a week away, so it’s high-time that I share some of my favorite eats for the red, white and blue celebration. Truthfully, I think my stained glass Jello stars are the only thing that actually contains all three of those colors, but some have blue, some have red, and some are just plain delicious. Below you will find all of my favorites when it comes to making 4th of July eats just as sparkly for your taste buds as fireworks are for your eyes. There are the requisite staples: appetizers, dips, side dishes and (of course) desserts. Have fun planning your menu!

What’s on your menu for the 4th of July festivities??

I’m making an All-American Celebration Cake that I found in one of my Pampered Chef books. It’s an angel food cake topped with berries and whipped cream.
